voting

The voting has been changed this year to go to an independant firm for tabulating. Did you have an envelope in your journal? The envelope, with attached perforated ballot is stapled in the pages of the journal. If you tore out the envelope, you might look in the pages for the other half.

Gosh, I will need to be retrained on how to send things by mail. Let's see -- fill out paper ballot (or ballet, in some cases) with an instrument called a pen (now I know what those pens I have been turning can be used for), fold and place inside a paper container called an envelope, affix something called a "postage stamp" to the envelope and then stick it into that metal box in front of my house (I always suspected that it was there for something). A truck comes by and picks it up. All this without the need for even turning my computer on and logging into something.

I wonder if I should chase the spiders and crickets out of the box.

Kurt, I have not received my Fall issue, should I be worried?
 
George,
If you have not received your copy of the Journal by the end of the week, please contact the AAW Main Office, and request a duplicate be sent to you. I am trying to find out the deadline for voting, and will advise you as soon as I know.
 
Thanks Kurt,
I thought it should have been here but then again sometimes I'm at the end of the mailing list and others in the front. The good point is at some time it usually arrives and I have some great reading!
